*shrugs* Seems to work here, though if Ting uses T-Mo and Sprint, I suppose Ting's more likely to have a good signal.
I don't expect much support on a $6 mobile wireless service.

I had horrible experience when I tried to use Freedom POP many years ago.
Their customer service is awful and completely uncooperative. Their equipment did not work well
in my environment at all.
I would not wish them on my worst enemy.
